Roasted Green Beans

Another roasted vegetable.  They really are better than boiled or microwaved.  You can add Parmesan cheese, and/or lemon.
Ingredients:

  • 2 1/4 lbs green beans – frozen or fresh
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • 1 -2 tablespoon olive oil (or just enough to lightly coat beans)
  • 1 – 1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp coarse ground pepper
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tab balsamic vinegar

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 425°F.
  2. Wash, dry well, and trim green beans. Or defrost and dry the frozen beans.
  3. Coat a large baking sheet with the olive oil.
  4. Place the green beans on the sheet and toss with garlic, salt, pepper, red pepper flakes, and balsamic.
  5. spread them out in one layer.    They brown best when they are not crowded.
  6. Roast for 8 minutes, stir green beans, and roast another 7-12 minutes until the beans just start to crisp on the end.  (They may take longer – depends on ???)
  7. Remove from oven and serve.

Serves: 4
